Job description

Job Details

Social Worker: Children's Single Assessment Team

Location: Leicester (Hybrid)

Hours: Full-time (9:30-5 Mon-Thu, 8:30-4:30 Fri)

We are seeking dedicated Social Workers to join our Children's Single Assessment Team. This team is the first response to all referrals, delivering thorough assessments and enquiries using Signs of Safety, trauma‑informed practice, and the Lundy model of participation.

We offer:

• A supportive and flexible working environment with hybrid options and manageable caseloads.
• Professional development opportunities for all levels, from newly qualified to experienced practitioners.
• A chance to make a real difference in a vibrant, diverse city while being backed by strong processes and evidence‑based practice.
• A culture that values innovation, reflection, and staff wellbeing, ensuring you have the confidence and support to do the job right.

We have a wide range of training for social workers at every stage of their career. But more importantly, we can give them the time and encouragement to maximise what they can learn. That's part of what helps our social workers move onwards in their career. It’s also partly due to our determination to – as far as possible – grow our own. Sometimes form newly qualified right through to management. That works – it creates people who know our systems and city. Day‑to‑day, and year‑to‑year, there is always someone to talk to give professional support and advice, or simply to be a friendly listener. That’s part of our duty of care to you. We also give as much flexible and hybrid working as possible, look after your wellbeing, and wherever we can keep your caseloads in manageable limits.
